Off-White™ is debuting another collaboration with Church’s that focuses on the latter’s ‘Consul’ shoe in a new ‘Meteor’ colorway. The release tributes designer Virgil Abloh and his work at Off-White™ by applying his ‘Meteor’ design to a pair of black cap-toe Oxford shoes that use Church’s signature 173 last and calfskin leather for its uppers. The shoe has circular cutouts across the laterals and toebox in Abloh’s signature fashion. A dark green Off-White™ hangtag wraps around the black laces with ‘SHOELACES’ printed in white text.
Consumers can purchase the Off-White™ x Church’s ‘Consul Meteor’ on the Off-White™ website. Accompanying the shoe’s release is a ‘Special Events’ pair of socks meant to be worn with the footwear offering.
